The Energy Policy Tracker has finished its first phase of tracking related to the Covid-19 recovery. Our dataset for 2020-2021 is complete. A new dataset on energy policies in the context of multiple crises will be launched in the coming year.

Select countries in Latin America

In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, governments in Select countries in Latin America have committed at least USD 18.37 billion to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:

  • At least USD 11.45 billion for unconditional fossil fuels through 52 policies (17 quantified and 35 unquantified)
  • At least USD 730.75 million for conditional fossil fuels through 5 policies (1 quantified and 4 unquantified)
  • At least USD 2.41 billion for unconditional clean energy through 33 policies (18 quantified and 15 unquantified)
  • At least USD 1.19 billion for conditional clean energy through 10 policies (5 quantified and 5 unquantified)
  • At least USD 2.59 billion for other energy through 38 policies (12 quantified and 26 unquantified)

By energy type, Select countries in Latin America committed at least USD 11.94 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 11.21 billion to unconditional oil and gas and at least USD 730.75 million to conditional oil and gas).

In addition, no public money commitments identified for coal.

Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.

Finally, no public money commitments identified for multiple fossil fuels.

A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of Select countries in Latin America through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.

These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.

Activities of exploration and production of oil and natural gas that are not essential to guarantee national supply can only be carried out if a “risk analysis appropriate to the emergency scenario arising from COVID-19” is carried out. The companies must also report to the ANP "cases of suspected and confirmed coronavirus, per production unit", in addition to the impacts generated in drilling and production activities. “Small production” oil fields may, for the remainder of this year, burn up to 100,000 m³ of natural gas per day. But the agency has reserved the right to revoke that authorization "at its sole discretion".

Public finance institution The international oil price reduction made biofuels less competitive compared to gasoline, thus increasing the COVID-19 crisis impact on the biofuel industry. The program aims to support the sector, incentivize the maintenance of jobs, and reduce the risk of fuel shortages during the period of economic recovery. 17/06/2020 1500000000 The national development bank BNDES established a credit program for working capital for the sugar and alcohol sector, including ethanol (with an allocation of R$ 1.5 billion (BRL) ( and joint action with commercial banks may increase the amount to more than R$ 3 billion (BRL). Biofuels have suffered from a decrease in consumption of over 30% during the COVID-19 crisis and also from a drop in the international price of oil - which has made ethanol less competitive. As an incentive to preserve jobs, supported companies will not be able to reduce their permanent staff for two months. In addition, those that maintain or increase jobs in the next 12 months will have lower rates.

Mexico National Fossil unconditional Increased Transmission Tariffs for Private Electricity Providers Power generation Multiple energy types New or extended regulation (IT... 2020052828/05/2020 Electricity storage or transmission or distribution Federal Energy Commission Government To create an efficient, secure, clean electricity system with competitive prices. The Federal Electricity Commission (Comisión Federal de Electricidad - CFE) increased the rates paid by private electricity providers (generators) for using the public transmission network (the "tarifa de porteo"). These new rates were published after the Energy Regulatory Commission (Comisión Reguladora de Energía -CRE) approved a petition by the national electricity company to increase the costs to private electricity generators. The high and medium-transmission rates changed from 0.049 pesos to 0.2785 and 0.2586 pesos per KW/hr, an increase of 469 and 428%, respectively. The low-tension transmission rate was increased from 0.09799 pesos to 0.8928 pesos per KW/hr, an increase of 811%. The new transmission tariff, know as the "porteo estampilla y porteo térmico" will be applied to thermal plants as well as plantas de autoabastecimiento and renewables considered "legacy plants", meaning their licenses were given by the regulating commission before the Law for Electricity Industry ("Ley de la Industria Eléctrica - LIE). These new transmission tariffs follow assertions by the national government and others that the national electricity company is losing money from the low fees paid by private energy providers.
